Subject: RE: [xdi] Room location and Internet access in New Orleans


I have an extra WiFi access point that I can bring.  The
setup complexity will be based on the type of authentication.
If the ethernet doesn't require authentication, then it's
a breeze.  

If it requires browser type authentication, then we're in 
for some fun times.  We'd need someone with a laptop that
has two ethernet ports.

The room Ethernet might only allow a single computer connected to it 
(some hotels are that way).  So anyone have an extra WiFi hub we can put 
on and create a local NAT?  It would be very useful, IMO.  (A powerstrip 
would be useful, too...)
